Inventor: NERONE LOUIS ROBERT
IPC: H05B41/392
Filed: 2000-05-24
Abstract: A ballast  10  for an electrodeless gas discharge lamp  30  incorporates a
dimming circuit  12 . Ballast  10  includes a load circuit  20  having an r.f. inductor  32  for
generating an r.f. field to power electrodeless lamp  30 . A voltage of an inductor  56  in
a d.c.-to-a.c. converter  13  of ballast  10  is sensed by dimming circuit  12 . Dimming
circuit  12 , which uses frequency-shift keying (FSK), couples inductor  56  to the
dimming circuit  12  via dimming inductor  80 , which in turn is connected to serially
arranged dimming switches  82, 84 . A signal generator  86  activates dimming switches
 82  and  84  to provide a frequency shift to ballast  10 . This frequency shift lowers the
output to r.f. inductor  32 , thereby turning off electrodeless lamp  30 . Repeated
switching by dimming circuit  12  causes a visual dimming in electrodeless lamp  30 .

Abstract: A fuel pump comprises a pumping plunger (10) reciprocable within a plunger
bore (11) under the action of a cam drive arrangement (18). The cam drive
arrangement (18) comprises first and second surfaces defining therebetween a
chamber (28), the volume of which can be controlled to control the spacing
of the first and second surfaces so as to permit control of the axial length of
the cam drive arrangement (18). The first surface may be defined by a tappet
member (22) which acts to transmit a force from the cam drive arrangement
(18) to the pumping plunger (10), the second surface being defined by a
piston member (19) which is slidable within a tappet bore (21) formed in the
tappet member (22). The invention also relates to an arrangement (41, 42) for
use in a fuel pump comprising a pumping plunger (10) which is reciprocable
within a plunger bore (11) under the action of a drive arrangement (18) and a
tappet member (22) which is slidable within a further bore (23) provided in a
housing (24) for transmitting a force from the drive arrangement (18) to the
pumping plunger (10). The arrangement comprises a yoke (41) secured to the
housing (24), the yoke (41) having at least one projection (42) extending into
the bore (23) provided in the housing (24), the or each projection (42)
cooperating with the tappet member (22) so as to substantially prevent
angular movement of the tappet member (22) within the further bore (23).
